Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Answer: Z W T Q
Reason: Each letter is paired with the alphabetic complement so that their positions add to 27 (for example, A (1) + Z (26) = 27). The same rule is used for both given pairs.
Start with the first group: A, D, G, J (positions 1, 4, 7, 10).
Find each complement so the pair sums to 27: A → Z (26), D → W (23), G → T (20), J → Q (17).
Therefore the related group for A D G J is Z W T Q.
As a check, the second pair M P S V maps by the same rule to N K H E (M (13) → N (14), P (16) → K (11), S (19) → H (8), V (22) → E (5)).
